Great, clever & solid

Stephane4242, 01.11.2017

It was a simple ingenious idea to harden the core of hickory with fire. I saw some dopes on youtube trying to burn their drum sticks because they couldn't see what the big deal is with the firegrain..it's not hard to burn sticks right ?...well the big deal is they are so resistant. Smooth and light like hickory but hard and sonically strong like oak. I used to love oak but I started to find oak heavy and to hard on my wrists. I was so pleasantly surprised with the friegrains... They are a pure, genius piece of equipment that is so well thought and so precisely made, I can't live without them. Go for it, it's not just a gimmick. They last longer and they sound great. Go for it thumbs up pro-mark (again !)

New optics or / and new sound?

Stefan.W., 27.11.2017

The first thought: nice gimmick with the optics. All three issues of the 5A with the same dimensions, strengths and weight but different rebound behavior? Nevertheless, I had ordered the "Rebound" and the "Classic" version and lo and behold: Significant differences already noticed immediately after unpacking on the pad. While the rebound lives up to its name and goes straight to the top, the Classic is more balanced due to the different design of the shoulder and the larger head. He "turns" felt a little slower.
What is really amazing: due to the temperature treatment and the resulting obvious hardening of the wood, the pelvis sound (Ride) is audibly brighter and presenter than with a conventional hickory stick. I play in a big band and right at the first rehearsal came the question if I would have a new ride. The Rimclicks are a lot brighter in sound than the untreated stick. The promised longer durability is relative: the cane shoulder suffers a bit less during the hi-hat game, but a head of the "rebound" has also flaked off during pelvic work. Is just wood and not always excluded.
Conclusion: Very nice look and pleasant feel. The "Flambieren" is audibly much more than just an optical gimmick of the manufacturer. Absolutely recommended for my taste.
